We're still experiencing an arctic blast here on the Cape, although things are supposed to start warming up tomorrow.
Of course, we get it pretty easy as New England weather goes. How about turning boiling water into instant snow at -34 degrees F. Video is courtesy of the Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire. Now THAT is some New England weather!
In other news, we're on track for the release of the (long awaited) new issue of our comic, Zephyr & Reginald: Minions for Hire in April and we're making plans to get back to running tables at some conventions once the new comic is out. Things are looking to be busy for the next couple of months.
